Abstract: T This paper analyzes how, in the eminently professional institutional setting of the university at the beginning of the s. XX, the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas presents the conditions for experimental research; the underlying research system that makes possible the experimental program of Alfredo Palacios is described, as well as the role of the Seminar, a specific section of the investigation, which was actually part of the investigation group. Methodologically, primary and secondary sources were used, mainly the empirical support of little used sources from the Treasury of the Facultad library and the archives of the Museum of Experimental Psychology in Argentina. For the characterization and explanation of the experimental research, we resorted mainly to the empirical support of little-used sources from the Treasure of the Facultad library and the archives of the Museum of Experimental Psychology in Argentina. The paper shows that Palacios' experimental investigations were not limited to a typical investigation of his time, the individual attempt, but that it was possible by virtue of a novel model of investigation that emerged as one of the main purposes of the creation of the Facultad in 1913.
